Police say a dead longhorn cow was found on the lawn of an Oklahoma State University fraternity on Friday, the day before the school’s football team plays the University of Texas Longhorns in the Big 12 championship game.
Police were notified just after 6:30 a.m. of the dead animal on the lawn of FarmHouse fraternity, according to Stillwater police Officer TJ Low.
The carcass had an expletive carved into its side and the stomach was cut open, according to the campus newspaper, The O’Colly.
“It’s a very cruel crime to be committed, especially right before the Big 12 Championship,” Low told The Oklahoman. “Nothing is worth doing that kind of crap.”
I don’t get this AT ALL.
The Oklahoma State mascot is “Pistol Pete”:

The Longhorn is the mascot for University of Texas at Austin:

So why would longhorns fans kill and dump a longhorn at the Oklahoma State campus?
I could see it if the Oklahoma State folks dumped a dead longhorn on the Texas campus, that would make sense from a “imma threaten you” point of view.
I could see the Texas folks taking a bunch of LIVE longhorns and letting them trample and crap all over the Oklahoma State campus, that would send a message.
It sounds like somebody has some bad fans who are just horribly, horribly confused.
This sounds more like an Oklahoma State frat sacrificed a longhorn than all those other ideas you said
I could see that too, but why dump it on their campus? Have a big ol’ longhorn cookout, THAT would make sense…
They are frat members. Nothing they do makes sense.
Bingo!
Maybe they are like Philly fans who riot if they win and riot if they lose?
Fuck me. Last year I was at OSU, we partied in the streets whether the Cowboys won or lost. That year we were singing, “Oh Ten and One! (to the tune of Oh Tenenbaum)” in the Eskimo Joes kitchen.
(The Cowboys were 0-10-1, if that wasn’t clear.)
They’re showing Pistol Pete what happens if he shoots first and asks questions later.
